We partnered with the esteemed publication, taking ownership of logistical coordination, planning and event management for TMBBQ 2015 and 2016 branded events for Texas Monthly Magazine which included the Behind The Pit Dinner series, Fire & Smoke series and TMBBQ Road Trip series. We liaised with event venues, chefs + pitmasters, and production vendors on behalf of the TM marketing team. We communicated and maintained relationships with multiple sponsors for each event series managing sponsor integration throughout.

The Road Trips and BTPD series' are unique opportunities for BBQ and food aficionados to get a look at the processes of some of the state's best Pitmasters and BBQ joints. Fire & Smoke goes one step further by pairing award-winning Chefs with celebrated Pitmasters for an exclusive night of collaboration and exceptional food. All events are hosted by Texas Monthly BBQ Editor and author of The Prophets of Smoked Meat: The Journey Through Texas BBQ, Daniel Vaughn. A highlight of these events are the one-on-one moderated talks with pitmasters and chefs and tours of the rarely seen smoke pits and kitchens of these acclaimed kitchen masters.
